The News Follows Unravel’s Introduction of New Artificial Intelligence for IT Operations (AIOps) Capabilities for Automated Performance Tuning of Big Data Applications

PALO ALTO, Calif., Sept. 26, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Unravel Data, the application performance management (APM) platform designed for big data applications, today announced it has been named a 2018 Cool Vendor by leading research and advisory firm Gartner in the report titled, “Cool Vendors in Performance Analysis; Analytics and Containers.”

Gartner conducts its Cool Vendor research annually. Gartner's Cool Vendor research is designed to highlight interesting, new and innovative vendors, products and services.

For this report, Gartner identified five companies that are leading the market with innovative approaches that I&O leaders can use to address challenges presented by containerization, cloud and microservices.

According to Gartner, “I&O leaders focused on IT operations transformation should: Prepare for their IT environment’s future state and monitoring needs by implementing container- and microservices-ready monitoring tools; Evaluate the vendors in this research by comparing their offerings and ability to deliver insight with those of your current monitoring portfolio; Improve visibility into DevOps and developer teams’ environments by embedding monitoring technologies like those examined in this research early in the development cycle.”

Unravel is the industry’s only APM platform designed for big data. Enterprises across financial, telecom, healthcare, technology and other industries leverage Unravel to operationalize their big data stack and improve reliability of applications and productivity of big data teams while reducing cost of ownership.
